How does domain protection work?

ZeroFox Domain Protection finds and eliminates typosquatting and domain phishing targeting employees and customers, making it easier than ever to protect domains against spoofed phishing URLs and other attempts to exploit your people. Continuously monitoring for newly registered domains that closely resemble your brand, ZeroFox Domain Protection provides comprehensive protection against fraudulent domains, from identification to takedown.

Why do I need Domain Protection?

Attackers exploit organizations online by mimicking their domains to dupe unsuspecting users into believing they are interacting with the official brand, resulting in compromised customer credentials and a deep impact to customer loyalty. At scale, spoofed domains can have a massive impact on an organization’s bottom line as potential customers are lost to attackers and trust is eroded.

How does ZeroFox take down fraudulent domains and how long does it take?

ZeroFox quickly identifies spoofed domains impersonating or spoofing your brand and takes action on your behalf to complete the complex and cumbersome takedown process. Once a takedown request has been issued for an offending domain, ZeroFox works on behalf of our customers to remove the domain using a comprehensive technological approach. Utilizing our Global Disruption Network, we work with hundreds of partners to get fraudulent domains blocked while the offending site is in the process of being officially taken down. With ZeroFox’s advanced approach, these takedowns are completed as quickly as possible and customers are always kept informed of current status.

What is domain protection?

Domain protection is the practice of implementing security measures, controls, and technologies to protect an organization’s domain name, and their sub-domains, from spoofing and impersonations, phishing sites, fraudulent SSL certificates, hosted IP infringement, hosted malware, and cybersquat URLs. Web experiences are the primary customer touchpoint for every modern organization, which is why threat actors capitalize on look-alike websites to launch attacks. Domain protection defends against domain-based attacks to ensure customer trust and positive experiences.

Why is domain protection important?

Millions of impersonated and spoofed domains and URLs are created by threat actors every year. These malicious websites can lead to multi-channel attacks, phishing campaigns, compromised credentials, fraud and scams, and major damage to a brand’s reputation. ZeroFox offers continuous, AI-powered domain protection to address domain-based threats at scale. We lead the way in identifying and taking down domain IP infringement, phishing sites, and more before malicious digital experiences can impact your customers and business operations.
